JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Text of His Letter Declining To Be Present
at the Calhoun Monument Dedication.

NEW YORK, April 22-It was stated in these
dispatches. yesterday, that Jefferson Davis had
declined an invitation to be present at the dedi-
cation ceremonies of the Calhoun monument, at
Charleston. A week two ago an invitation
was sent to jefferson Davis by the Ladies CAL
houn Monument Association, to be present at
the ceremonies attending the dedication of the
monument next Tuesday. Some nervous people
were afraid that if Jeff should come to Charleston
the bloody. shirt shriekers would have another
opportunity to wave the ensanguined garment,
and that 'the grand old party would swear that
there was to De another rebellion. These timid
souls have had their fears removed by the fol-
lowing letter, which has been received by Mrs
George Robertson, president of the association:
'BEAUvoIR, Miss, April 16, 1887.
"Mrs. George Robertson:
Dear Madame-Accept my thanks for your
kind invitation to myself and family to be pres.
emit at the unwilling of the ladies' monument to
Calhoun. | regret that it will not be in our
power to attend, for besides the generation and
affection of Mrs. Davis ami myself for the great
and pure statesman to whose memory you do
homer, it would be a pleasure to US to pay this
tribute of duty and respect. Mr.. Calhoun was
to me the guiding star In the political armament
and was hon ored by him with such confidence
as made our intercourse not only instructive,
in public affairs his health failed, but with that
devotion to the public welfare which had char
acterized his whole life, he continued
to occupy his seat in the Sen
ate when his indomitable spirit was
vainly struggling against his physical exhaus-
ton. His wisdom and extraordinary admins
tIative talent then specially required to
teach, direct and sustain. bat he was taken from
US. like summer dried fountain, when our need
was the sorest.s Mr.. Webster, who had been his
great intellectual opponent but nevertheless
his warm personal friend, when speaking on the
occasion of bis death manifested deeper emotion
than ever knew him to exhibit any other
occasion. He impressively said: Nothing that
was selfish or impure ever came near the head
or heart of Calhoun l am gratifed that the la
dies do the part of humanitv-have contributed
this testimonial to one blameless themselves
Please tender, with my regrets. my grateful ac-
knowledgements to your associates for their cor
dial invitation, in which nv wife cordially
unites. and believe me to be respectfully and
truly yours JEFFERSON DAVIS"

THE SALVATION ARMY.
A Member Under Sentence of Death Gives
His Opinion of 1t.

Rochester Democrat.
Robert Van Brunt, lately prominent mem
Der of the Salvation Army. is under sentence of
DEATH at Rochester, for the murder Of young
Roy. From an interview with a reporter of the
Democrat this extract is made:
Van Brunt, you seem to place little reliance
upon the final result of this hoped-for appeal to
the higher courts. and you seem to clearly real
ize that your life is nearly ended, and that the
dreadful event can. at most be postponed but a
little. Now. with these grave convictions in
your mind, wish you would tell me something
about the true inwaraness of this Salvation
Army to which you belonged"
Van Brunt, who is only twenty three years of
age, meditated a moment, eyed his questioner
curiously. and then laughed bit in peculiar
manner To himself.
Il think he said, after little, II think there
few good people yet in the army; mean
people who really want to benefit mankind, but

lieve it would be we'll if all he did, and even he
believed and taught, and all his aspirations for
the welfare and prosperity Of onr Republic
were better known and understood. If
this were so. much would be found
to enlighten and encourage those charged with
public duty; much to stimulate patriotic enthu-
siasm. The ceremonies attending the un-
yelling of the monument erected by
his ardent admirers in the State which
bears the impress of his renown
should furnish occasion for such instructive
illustration of his character as shall inspire in
the minds of all mis- countrymen the germs of
respect and admiration for his courage and self
abnegation, liberation. where approval of his
opinions is withheld, and universal pride in the
greatness of this illustrious American.
